Hazel A woman once fueled by dreams of romance and quiet joy, Hazel built her life around the belief that love could be her sanctuary. But lately, that belief feels like a distant echo. The man she once adored now stirs something darker in her-grief, resentment, disbelief. What happened between them wasn't loud, but it was enough to fracture her trust. She knows Xavier didn't mean to hurt her, yet intention doesn't erase the ache. Now, Hazel stands at the edge of her old life, unsure whether she's mourning a love that died-or waking up from a love that never truly lived. Xavier To Xavier, marrying Hazel felt like winning fate's rarest lottery. He loved her deeply, but somewhere along the way, love became possession. He never saw himself as controlling-just certain. Certain that Hazel would understand him, follow him, forgive him. But certainty is brittle. Now, he's left with the wreckage of a marriage he thought was unbreakable, wondering if being "a man" blinded him to the quiet ways he failed her. He doesn't know how to fix it. He only knows he's no longer the man Hazel believed in. Lily Raised in an orphanage tucked away from the world's noise, Lily learned early how to turn loneliness into light. She dreams big, laughs easily, and carries a quiet hope that her parents might still be out there, searching for her. Sister Mary once told her she wasn't born into the orphanage-she was brought there by social workers. "Maybe your parents lost you," she said. That idea clung to Lily like a half-remembered lullaby. Sometimes, she feels she was once close to them, but the memory isn't comforting-it's unsettling. Like a shadow she almost recognized. Still, Lily chooses joy, even when the past whispers otherwise.
Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.
